so regretfully, knowing that his place in our

ton in the belief that he is prompted by the
highest consideration and actuated by de-
sire to accomplish the greatest good.

ence and success which he so richly merits
'Resolved, That we regret to sever our re-
lations with his family, whose social and

SENATOR sTUBBs THE WING.

Day before yesterday Senator Stubs
had a compton fit over the statement
of the propositioni which Sir Edward
Thornton and Mr.. Braithwaite have
published. He went so far as to charac-
terize it as lie, yelling the charateriza-
ton so thinly that there had as well have
been no veil. The wing on yesterday
had spasms over the same proposition.
Nevertheless, what Sir Edward Thorn
ton and Mr. Braithwaitc state that they
proposed 10 the State they did actually
propose, and every paragraph and SEN
tcnce in their statement is literally true
as the records Of the commission show.
They offered TO allow the State TO re-
deem all Of the dejt that jc1rs t0r.recora-
5L coupons for $s,354 ,49O-less than its
face value and they offered TO reduce the
annual interest upon it from 81 lGs, 022,
as It now is, to S7OG,23l
They made this offer it was rejected
by the Virginia commissioners, and all
that they say in their statement is that
they made it and that it was rejected,
Mr. Stubs may writhc in his compton
fit, and the wing may prefer to rely en-
tirely on the official figures of the States
commissioners, but neither of these act
ing separately, nor both of them acting
conformity can blot from the record the
stubborn fact that such an offer was
made and that the State rejected it,
Neither of them nor both can make that
statement say that the offer was i'm any
respect different from the above
OF course, Mr. Stubs and the Wing
understood their publication TO be a
statement that, under their offer, the
principle Of the entire debt would be re-
duced 10 81 SOP s3l, and the interest on
the entire debt to be reduced to S7OG,23l
But the bondholders commissioners
did not say that, and they, Of course, are
not responsible for Senator Stubs and
the wing misleading what they did say.
They spoke only Of the debt bearing tax
receivable coupons and why their offer as
to that was not accepted passes the COM
prehension of ordinary men.
This is what gives the State trouble.
The rest of the debt can be dealt with as
She chooses. She can pay it on her own
terms or repudiate it outright But the
tax-receiyable coupon she cannot deal
with as she chooses Ii has a power of
its own TO pay her taxes and thus inter
cept her revenues; and it causes all
the trouble in which the state
now finds herself involved j is a
first mortgage ON the States revenues.
The owners of this mortgage offer toprc-
sent the State with SS,3jf,4 400 of their
principal and to reduce the annual inter
est from $1,1Gs,O22 TO S,OG,23l Why the
State does not elise with them, and after
that make the best arrangement i'm her
power for the rest of the debt which has
no power to coerce her, passes the COM
prehension of ordinary men.

THE SUCCESS OF Inn DAILY TIMES


The reason why daily paper on oui
present plan was not started in Richmond
sooner by newspaper men who came here
10 overlook the field, was because they
saw that it required the management OF
some one well known 60 the people OF
the State. We have given the people a
paper whose maxim is 10 tell the truth,
whether il pleases parties, or individuals,
or not and TO this we ascribe the
success that it generally in such
enterprises requires double the time to
achieve, even under such favorable cir
cumstances. We are not running any
candidates, and will not follow the ideas
OF any set of men The truth intelligent
w recorded is a guarantee Of approval
even from those who may not like it, We
shall continue to tell the working men
when We think they are wrong and when
right, and TO inform our distinguished
Democratic leaders and the people Of the
mistakes they make whenever we see

We really think that our distinguished
and esteemed contemporary, the WAg
will be called ON 10 answer some pointed
questions if it proceeds in its plan of
criticising newspapers as mot believed to
reflect any considerable portion of the
public sentiment of the communities in
which they are published just because
such newspapers choose to speak their
honest opinions.
Is the Richmond wing, with its yari-
gated history entitled to reflect" any
more than the Alexandria Gaslue?
Is it a better Democratic paper, more
intelligent Of better character, or en-
titled To more respect
